Public Health England (PHE) brings together and analyses data on neurological conditions from across the health and care system and produces resources to help improve services and outcomes.

This guidance is for commissioners, public health professionals and others involved in the local planning and provision of services that support people with neurological conditions. It should support them to use these resources to make or influence decisions about local services and interventions.

Understanding neurological conditions locally

Comprehensive data on neurological conditions is available from NHS RightCare to help health professionals understand neurological conditions at clinical commissioning group (CCG) level.

The neurology focus packs give an analysis of a range of indicators focussing on spend, activity, quality and outcomes relating to neurological conditions.
A focus pack tool is also available which can be used to see maps, charts and tables for the indicators across CCGs, and to compare CCGs to each other.

Deaths associated with neurological conditions

The deaths associated with neurological conditions work was produced for those commissioning or providing end- of- life care for people with a range of neurological conditions. It gives an analysis of people who have died with a neurological condition recorded on their death certificate in England during the period of 2001 to 2014.

Outpatient services

This information can help commissioners and clinicians assess whether they comply with recommendations by the Royal College of Physicians for scheduled outpatient care.

Further information

PHE’s National Mental Health, Dementia and Neurology Intelligence Network (NMHDNIN) produces these resources for commissioners and other health professionals to help them improve services and outcomes for patients. For further guidance and information about the tools and analysis please email mhdnin@phe.gov.uk.
